Frequently Asked Questions

The value that we offer within our free consultation concept often surprises people.

For 30 minutes approximately we’ll discuss any barriers or challenges you’re facing, and we’ll offer some actionable tips for you to take away from the call, regardless of where the call itself takes us. You’ll need to be senior level, and you’ll need to be open to the idea of working with a coach, and be able to fund a coaching programme, but those are the sole criteria. We work from a place of ethical values, and we believe that most people do too, simple as that. However, this is not a ‘free coaching session’, more of a high level review regarding your current job search strategies.

So no, there’s no cost to find out more, and we’ll be happy to arrange a discussion with you.

We realise that working with any kind of coach may be a new consideration for many senior level executives. There’s also a certain amount of scepticism around any process involving an initial conversation; how hard sell will it be? Will the company really ‘get’ what you’re looking for? This is where we stand out.

The entire concept of the initial free consultation is around giving you the opportunity to explain your current situation and to receive some valuable, actionable advice. Whether you decide to work with us or not, the call itself will be a useful opportunity for you to learn about the recruitment market, check your current search strategy, and perhaps discover a bit more about the career management industry.

I hope our commitment to a personal, tailored career management service approach already comes through in some previous points in this FAQ? We represent you the senior level candidate, whereas what most people don’t fully realise is that recruiters and headhunters service their clients first and foremost. We will take the time to get to know you properly, understand your distinct value proposition, help you become the best candidate you can be, and represent you to our network of peer contacts, recruiters and headhunters.

Absolutely none. Our entire interactions are 100% confidential.

An interesting one, this. It’s great to have a feeling of bullishness vs timidity when it comes to how many roles you have ‘on the boil’ at any one time. We’ve certainly worked with clients specifically around interview preparation, who have gone on to receive multiple job offers.

For some, we come into contact fairly early in their career planning journey, for others it’s near the finish line. Flexibility is our watchword here.

Yes. Many people that we work with have reached a career crossroads of sorts. Sometimes the options are: persist in seeking a new full time role, consider interim or contract roles, or head off in a totally different direction. We’re geared up to help in any of these situations, and this is the core of career management; assisting you to make informed decisions by taking the time to adequately reflect on your options, while having a focussed view around your goals.

Outplacement support (Outplacement takes you through Resume/CV updates, interview skills, and other career planning subjects either on a group or one to one basis typically) sometimes forms part of a redundancy situation.

We’ve worked with many clients who have or are receiving outplacement services, which can sometimes be viewed as impersonal and ‘conveyor belt’ in its approach.

Our clients enjoy the personal attention, further enhanced advice and support, as well as active representation to selected recruiters and headhunters that we provide. A service at senior level must be 1:1 and personalized, and that’s what we pride ourselves on delivering.
